"BUY THIS AMP. MOD IT OUT. THE BEST LITTLE AMP YOU'LL OWN."

Feature:
the master vs clean volume is amazing. you can really get a great clean tone, or just crank the volume and add the fat switch for that great natural overdrive. the reverb needs help.

Quality:
i've had mine for 7 years, and worked it pretty hard. i haven't needed to change a tube in all that time. i HAVE HAD PROBLEMS with the pot shafts. pretty poorly built. you'll wanna get them changed. but other than that, its stood up well to what i've done to it.

Value:
for $400! are you kidding!?!?! YES!!! AMAZING value. and if you invest another $40-$80 in upgrades/mods, you've basically found yourself a miniature Twin Reverb for $400! great value!

Desirability:
i've always loved the look of the fender amps. especially this series. i'm huge on the look/vibe of all my equipment. i know it might sound lame, but people love looking at a great stage set up, with good looking gear. whenever i go see shows, i'm always checking out their gear first thing.

Sound:
I love pushing the 15 watts through the 12". you can get a true, warm, gritty overdrive without a bunch of fake-sounding effects. once those tubes get saturated, all good. BUT the reverb is weak, and gets pretty tin-like when cranked. i recommend getting if modified with the inexpensive mods you can get off the web. mine has a reverb, bass, and mid tone mod, and this little amp sounds like a classic twin reverb.

Ease of Use:
its hard to make this amp sound bad. i sometimes play with just this amp, and can easily find a great, thick, mid-ranged tone. and sometimes i combo it with my Vox AC-30. i use the great high/low end of the Vox, and crank up only the mids of the Jr. WOW!!!! the most complete tone, and volume, i've ever jammed.

Support:
its easy to find someone to help you with repairs if you can't do it yourself. THE MODS ARE MORE THAN WORTH IT! very inexpensive, and do wonders for the tone/reverb.

Overall:
its a great amp for recording. its a pretty good amp for gigging, (as long as you can mic it). modified, its my favorite amp ever! played as a combo with another, different amp, incredible. its an amp i've enjoyed for years.

"A real bargain with no sacrifice of tone."

Feature:
A footswitch can be used to switch on the Fat mode, which might be useful I suppose, but it's easy to just switch it directly on the amp wo I have never bothered with this. Perhaps the reverb should be foot-switchable too?

Quality:
Well constructed and finished.

Value:
Excellent tone for little expense.

Desirability:
It's not particularly sexy, but it's good.

Sound:
This amp has a classic Fender tone. Sounds great clean and overdriven. In fact I was surprised how great this amp sounds when it is overdriven. There is something particularly sweet about a Strat with a Fender amp and this amp continues the tradition. My Les Paul with 57 PAF pickups also sounds so very tasty. With the gain turned up full and the fat switch in this can play a heavy rock tone if you want, but it will not be suitable for a metalhead. The sound is trebly and quite cutting, but this is not a bad thing to me. The tube overtones are just delightful and its lack of deep bass response when overdriven aids in making yourself heard over the mix. I agree with the other comments here that the reverb is not so great - but its not awful either. Just keep it low.

Ease of Use:
It's very easy to use having only one channel and with the usual basic controls

Support:
No experience.

Overall:
It makes you want to buy another Fender amp!
